I Have a Question

I'm excited at the possibilities next year with this offense. There's no question most of our draft picks and free agent concerns should be totally focused on the defensive side of the ball. With all of that said, I have a question. Some of you might flame me for even asking it, but just try to remember it is an honest question I'm asking.

Our offense has the potential to be absolutely legendary. Already Cam has set a record for breaking records. Right now, I believe J-Stew will want to finish his career as a Panther, and would be willing to take less money to stay. With D-Will and J-Stew giving each other fresh legs by sharing carries, they would form the ultimate tag team of runners this league has ever seen. (Minnesota can't say that, Tennessee can't say that. All they have is one great runner) Smitty is the best 6' under receiver in the history of the NFL, and with Cam, may become one of the best to ever play the game. (He is already that in my book) Lafell is developing superbly, exceeding all my expectations, and Gettis (who I call the taller version of Marvin Harrison) will be back to challenge Lafell for #2.

My question is, are you tempted to make a great offense even greater? Would you be willing to give up 3 first rounders to move up and draft Matt Kalil?

Think about it for a second. Our expectation as a team is to be in the playoffs consistently, year in year out. So our average draft positioning will be 25-32 every year. And again, with such a great team, free agents will be flocking to Carolina to sign with this team. So essentially these free agents will be like signing first round picks with experience under their belt. Ultimately with this plan, the only drawback I can see from it, is it will be boring watching the draft on tv the first day.:D

Going back to the expectations of this offense down the road. J-Stew is averaging 5.1 yards a carry, and D-Will is averaging almost 5.6 yards a carry. Together they are now over 1400 yards, and with Cam, we have a 2,000 yard rushing offense. If we can do that with this o-line, imagine what we can do with another Kalil on the line. I don't know about any of you, but I'm tempted to make this deal. Finally, if I'm going to get flamed for suggesting this, I'm going to be the first to do so with this smiley.:idea:

No.

I know it is normal to be on a high after a big win, but this team still has many holes to fill.

How about a CB for example...?

Brent Grimes will be available in free agency, Darius Butler could be the guy. Carlos Rogers could decide to go somewhere else after the season is over. Also, we will have a second round pick to spend on corner this up coming draft. This draft is full of cornerback talent.

Just look at the offenses in our Division: Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Freeman is not bad at all. We need to build a defense that can stop these guys. That should be our first priority.

I can see us spending some money to get another difference maker on the O-Line, but NO WAY should we over pay to get the other Kalil.

We need a defense that can also win games for us.

      Lance Zierlein's Position Rankings 2026 Draft

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      That makes me wonder, how many starting tackles in the NFL and/or elite tackles have short arms? I feel like there’s probably lots of tackles that end up being drafted in later rounds because they had short arms or didn’t have the physical tools.     also why not draft a tackle in the later rounds that we could move to guard or center if they fail, instead of drafting a center? If we draft a center we know they aren’t going to play tackle but if you draft a tackle they could end up playing any of the 3 positions, look at BC for example. It feels like it’s a better decision to draft a tackle in later rounds than a center.

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.
